California Governor Jerry Brown referred to taxpayers as “freeloaders” last week for objecting to his new gas tax and car fee hikes.
“The freeloaders — I’ve had enough of them … They have a president that doesn’t tell the truth and they’re following suit,” he said. Brown was speaking in Orange County, defending State Assembly newcomer Josh Newman (D-Fullerton), who is facing a recall effort after voting for Brown’s new transportation taxes in April.
The new tax raises existing gas taxes — already among the highest in the nation — by 12 cents per gallon, with higher taxes on diesel, and slaps car owners with higher annual registration fees. Critics have pointed out that the burden of the tax falls most heavily on middle-class Californians.
Big day tomorrow. My best friend’s daughter graduates from high school in Colorado Friday. Sadly, Steve passed away back in 2009. I’d give damn near anything to have him still around so that he could watch his little girl.
Sure Happy It’s Thursday, GN!
Oh goody…a fresh new thread to kilt.
*Cracks knuckles*
Nice thread pic / caption, Mac.
I’ll be curious to see how long the “liberal” outrage machine can sustain being cranked-up to 11 non-stop; ditto teh GOPe indignation engine.
More sand and monkey wrenches, please.
Happy sound and fury signifying nothing Thursday. Hi, Fatwa. Travel plans made?
The Left and the media is full on bonkers, but what it all will mean in the end, I don’t know.

First deplorable, now a freeloader:
